| Three
Tables is named for a trio of flat rocks running perpendicular to
shore, which break the surface, then max out in 40 to 50 feet. Lava
tubes are on the right side of the tables and a nice wall to the
left, with interesting boulders and some coral. The substrata are
mostly devoid of coral, as heavy winter surf has pounded the formations
clean and smooth. Occasional sightings of sharks, rays and turtles
spice up the dive, but tropicals, octopus, eels and parrotfish are
the regular attraction. Adjacent to Three Tables is a site that's
okay during the day, but best experienced at night, Snaggles from
a small cove in back of the fire department. After a 20-yard snorkel
along the wall, drop to 25 feet and follow the wall for about 300
yards. There are several lava tubes and arches, which are good spots
for lobster. Four to five foot long morays live here as well as
several parrotfish. Showers and rest room facilities are available
right at this site. |

We had a great
dive - calm water, no crowds (arrived at 8:30 am), saw
turtles, eels, lots of fish, shrimp. Water temp 81 degrees. We started
left and
followed current; it was a good hard swim coming back though so plan
for that. |
